Hypericum - a code of practice	https://hypericum.obsidiancoast.art/working-group.php	Obsidian coast is a curatorial organisation / residency space etc. They have launched a really great initiative recently called Hypericum - a code of practice. The project is "a research project developing a collectively produced, ever-evolving code of practice for feminist, antiracist, anticolonial and environmentally sustainable arts organising". I think there will be public workshops throughout the programme, and the working group will publish some outcomes. In general it seems like a really nicely structured project - check it out on the link below!
